yIraInin Democratio Association

A regular meeting Of the Virginia Demo-
cratic Association was held last night at
their rooms on Tenth street northwest,
There was small attendance, and no bust
ness was transacted. There would have
been some business done, and real old
fashioned business at that, had u resolution
indorsing the platform of the Roanoke con-
vention been offered. There were half
dozen gentlemen present who threatened
II any attempt to indorse the handiwork OF
Mr.. John s. Barbour was made the fur
would fly; in other words they swore would
oppose any such movement, and would speak
their pieces out In open meeting. No such
resolution was offered, however, and the
reversible. uble-back-action combination
platform OF the Virginia Bourbons goes un-
indorsed. This is another evidence that
Virginia Bourbonism is growing more and
more unpopular.

Shall We Eat Meat OF Not !?

Everybody will tell you now In this season
Of summer that you ought not to eat 30 much
meat. Try the vegetarian diet" they say.
Well VIC have tried the vegetarian diet until
we are sick Of IT, 1t shard to get In America
and II Is costly. And we believe anyway that
man is oarnivorous to a large degree. Still,
vegetables ought to bo eaten in their season.
The only trouble is is SO apt to get at hotels
and restaurants only such vegetables as have
lain in the sun and turned o "cholera green"
OF course. there II risk in eating such food.
Better protect yourself as well as possible by
having always within reach some BRAsDRErH's s
PILLS. A,dose of three to ten. according to
your bulk, will generally act as preventive
against all diseases arising from eating impure

A New Naval Repister.

The new naval register is being printed
at the government printing Office, and will
be ready for issue about the lat OF October.
This will be practically the first register
issued for two years, as the edition printed
about the first OF the year did not conform
to the Secretary's ideas, and was not gener-
ally circulated. The volume now being
printed will contain some new features, the
most important being a record of the service
of every officer showing the date Of entry
into the service and OF every promotion.
